    I can't believe that a quiz countdown timer was not thought of by Microsoft developers as a basic element in quizzes before actually rolling out the quiz option in Microsoft Forms...

    Should have been there from the start, but feels like "Forms" are mostly adapted for simpler surveys than to be used by teachers. There needs to be a timer!

    Se divím, že soudruzi z NDR, vlastně z Microsoftu, tento základní parametr do nastavení kvízu nedali.

    I like forms, but it lacks a timer for quizzes and exams. This is a dealbreaker for any teacher. And I like to use Teams, but hate having to go to Blackboard for exams, but I do because they do have a timer.

    Dear Microsoft... Do you have any criteria for the number of votes to implement an idea.?
    The request was posted on May 25th and today is Dec 24th (213 days altogether and 162 "working" days) Even now, the timer is not incorporated on the Quiz pages with 2,716 votes and still counting...

    Please, add a countedown timer when user click the test start. And clock need to be a visible.

    Having a feature which enables us teachers to assign TIMED tests, not necessarily quizzes, which are longer in duration and consist of open ended short or long answer exam type questions is a must. It would be even better if : 1. the students are unable to switch screens whilst performing the test, 2. teacher can remotely monitor the students 3. useful tools such as calculator / drawing toolbars are included 4. sequence of questions is different for different students and 5. students have possibility to chat with teacher and vise versa in case of difficulty.

    Please include this feature ASAP. It's a must at these times when it's difficult to assign tests/exams in class in order to minimise spread of disease and when face to face contact time with students has been reduced at least by half.
